Madly Gifted documentary

"This documentary is for those who suffer in silence"

Madly Gifted is a documentary that explores the complexity of the artistic talent and its relation to the Bipolar Spectrum through a combination of interviews, reenactments, and artwork. The purpose of the documentary is not to show interviewees' personal lives but to voice the opinion of bipolar artists about the impact of treatment in their creative mind and quality of life, their concerns, and fears; it is a channel to enhance the communication between patients and health professionals to better serve patients' needs. We hope the psychiatric community will get a good grasp of patients' views and concerns about diagnosis and treatment processes, and that this information will allow psychiatrists to tailor more individual recommendations to the bipolar artist. On the same token, we hope patients will be more receptive to learning from experts when in a more balanced, fair environment.
